My 2004 E55 is hardly driven ( sadly no time too much work travel ) and although the mileage limits have not been reached for service work the time factor has, and therefore, several service items need attention. For example the battery message " Convenience functions temp unavailable " has appeared. Prolly needs a new battery as it is the original. My question is can anyone recommend an independent Merc expert in the the Manalapan/ Freehold NJ area to do this kind of service ( battery, filters, etc. ) work?

Or, should I stick with a dealer, and if so can anyone recommend a dealer that I can trust? You know good work and no door nicks!

Thanks.

E55Tom

 

maybe you should post where you are lcoated, then we can recommend a good dealership.

 

Central New Jersey...Manalapan/ Freeehold area.

 

Try charging your battery in the trunk. When my car was in the shop having work done, the battery drained quite a bit....my tech put the charger on it for a few hours and the light hasn't come on in 6 months.

Letting your Beast sit for long periods may drain the battery. Try that first.
